Nick and Sarah's building pics for the month, Part II

The following were shot in black and white. No gimping.

Why the hell did the font just go blue?
1/500s; F8; ISO-100; 70mm FL


Dero Building Roof
1/200s; F5; ISO-100; 70mm FL

For the record, I tried reshooting the woodpile off-centred and it didn't really work. Not only was the pile in a bit of a state of disrepair, there wasn't enough wall for it to really work. But I tried, Stephen.

  1. Actually, in the interests of full disclosure, I rotated the textile souq one by about 1.5°.

  2. Hi,

    Like the composition of from the fabric souq, however and a big sorry, don’t like the in camera Black and White conversion on them.

    This is really where Photoshop is fair game. Traditional film B&W involved masses of manipulation in the dark room as well as use of multiple filters on the camera, all fair game. Therefore the same, at least, is fair game in photoshop.

    These from the camera seem a bit flat to my eyes, PS would have allowed a bigger range and better contrast.
    Again check out David Nightingale on the subject;
